Outwaiting the Quarantine

It’s hard to keep my chin up,
though nothing tragic has happened
to me or those I love yet.
Last night, seeing the sun set,
I still felt I could gather up
my sails and sharpen
my thoughts by writing my snarky notes
for anyone who wants to wander
into my bailiwick. Nothing has happened
to make me stop yet.
It’s a crazy mania but it makes me happy,
while I wait in separation
from everyone except my wife and cats.
A half hour since I brought the coffee up.
Shall I go up and join the hibernation?
It really doesn’t matter, if I’m wrong I’m right.
Something will come up
to help me keep my chin up,
while nothing tragic has happened yet.
